hey guys, I've just uploaded a tour / overview video of my dad's new Carradice of Nelson bag on his touring bike. Help me to view it and don't forget to subscribe, comment and rate!
Currently breaking in my first Brooks saddle out here in Canada, the same model my father bought in Brum back in the 50s. Great film. Fantastic that at least some British brands still manufacture in the UK, maintaining jobs and giving back to the communities that helped build that initial reputation for quality. Jolly good stuff!
Brooks are fantastic saddles, and last for years. I have a B17 special fitted to my bike. Love it.. After the initial "breaking in" period the saddle will fit your behind like an expensive tailored suit - Perfectly.. Great value too when you take into account that they get better with age, rather then degrade. Looked after properly a Brooks saddle will last years, and many many years at that.. B17, Flyer and Swift are most common, but there is a huge range.
Got a black B72 a couple months ago. Awesome saddle. Did 55 miles the first time I rode it (I weigh about 350 lbs). The break-in period never happened for me. It has been comfortable from day one. It's a keeper. Also bought the proofide can for it and a black challenge tool back. Looks great.
I have Brooks Swift saddles on both of my road bikes. They start to soften after about 500 miles and after 3K, they are an anatomic fit. Would not ride on anything else. And they do, in fact, last forever.
As far as I can tell these seats shift the pressure away from your chode (aka perineum or bonch) and on to your butt bones (or cheeks) due to the stiffness of the leather. It seem strange at first, but if you try one you'll see what I mean.
A success story of Britain!

They aren't comfortable, they're just "cool". All bike seats squish the nuts.
